I SEE Redcar & Cleveland community wardens’ shifts are changing. Councillor McLuckie says that “the people of the borough have told us what they want”. It would be interesting to know how many people were in their survey and how representative it was.

Looking at the new hours, what proportion of people wanted wardens at 7am? How many felt that 2pm to 3pm was a peak time when there should be twice as many wardens? How many people wanted the warden service to stop at 10pm?

A clue to what might have happened is in the statement “they have never wanted to work until midnight”.

I hope police officers don’t get the power to decide what hours they work.
